      “Get off vent, or I’ll have you bent.”

      I wish those stupid videos weren’t the first thing my brain goes for when I see the word “Ventrilo.”

        I assume that one was a joke, Ventrilo looks very out of date

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventrilo

        Revolt is nice though. Once they finish upgrading the app, it would be an easy switch

        I didn’t know about Fosscord (now called Spacebar it seems), it looks cool https://github.com/spacebarchat

        Spacebar is a free, opensource selfhostable discord-compatible chat, voice and video platform.

        • Discord-compatible (Use all your custom clients/bots with minimal changes)
        • Selfhostable (Server)
        • Open Source (GitHub Organization)
        • Configurable (Configure every aspect and limits to your needs)
        • Decentralized (no abuse of power and doesn’t have a single point of failure)
        • Extendable (secure and cross-platform plugin system)
        • Themeable (cross-platform theme system with design editor)
        • Secure (publicly audited and hosted FOSS software for transparent foundation in terms of security)

          Spacebar looks to be exactly what I’ve been looking for! Unfortunately, according to their FAQ the voice and video features aren’t implemented yet but here’s hoping that someone comes on-board to help set it up 🤞definitely an easy decision for a self hosted Discord alternative if that comes to fruition!

        Fosscord changed to “spacebar” a while back. If you want a more Discord-like experience, try the Cinny or Comet Matrix client. And on mobile the SchildiNext Chat client. Although I really can’t recommend Matrix as a replacement at all.

          I just want an experience my friends aren’t too stumped by. I’ll give them a look! Thank you!

            Matrix authentication process is confusing and annoying. If your friends aren’t technical, they’re going to have a bad time.
